eCommunication Public Sector Submission First Draft

This week I sent off the first draft of the submission of our new degree to SHU. A group of SHU staff then have to read through the draft and make comments, suggestions etc.

Following this, I have to produce the final submission document. This will be sent to SHU for formatting and then read by the people who will form the Validation Board. The process won't be as onerous as last time but there is still a lot to do.

I noticed that I am using more of the tools in WORD these days. Previously I have more or less stuck to typing in text, now I'm using call outs, the mark up facility, find and replace etc. Not so much me being better at WORD, more of me having to resort to other techniques as I can't keep lots of complicated things in my head at one time.

It's interesting that I find it easier to do a job like this in several long sessions rather than spread the work out over more days; it's easier to keep working than it is to make a note of where I am, stop and then have to spend a long time assembling all my notes, ideas and documents so I can begin again.
